Maurice Rex Johnson, 52, and Toni Renea Johnson, 40, have been charged with sodomy, sexual torture and unlawful imprisonment. The couple is accused of abusing a 23-year-old woman with profound mental disabilities inside their Attalla home for months, according to police....

Authorities are still trying to determine how long the victim was with the couple. At this point, investigators suspect she was there at least a couple of months.
